Perfect Entertainment

Punch and Judy makes perfect entertainment for a child's birthday party, a corporate family fun day, a shopping centre, public event or even in the evening for adults.A good Punch and Judy Show is enjoyed by all ages. Children love it but so do many adults. Mr Punch has found a place in the hearts of the English. He is our National Puppet. We love his mischief, his tricks and his innocent naughtiness. He has remained popular since he first appeared as street entertainment in London in 1662.

Birthday Party Entertainment

As the Punch and Judy Show is only about thirty minutes duration it is usually combined with a magic show and balloon modelling. The high light of the party will definitely be the Punch and Judy Show. It is the perfect way to make the party really special.

Corporate Events

For a company party or corporate family fun day a Punch and Judy Show will provide an exciting focal point for children and families. Just the sight of the Punch and Judy Puppet Theatre creates excitement and anticipation. The show also compliments a Fun Fair and fits in nicely with traditional side stalls or fairground rides.

Shopping Centres and Public Events

Punch and Judy will draw a crowd in any location where the general public are passing by. Once the show starts a crowd will soon form. The British like Punch and Judy ( unless you are in the PC Brigade! ). There are many other types of entertainment, acts and shows to choose from but Punch and Judy has stood the test of time. People of all ages enjoy it. The Punch and Judy Show works!

What makes this show so good?

The look of the Puppet Theatre ( or "fit up" as it's known in the trade )

Height of the puppet stage. High up is better for larger audiences.

Appearence of the Punch and Judy Booth.

Backdrop to the show.

Type of puppets ie pappier mache, cloth, latex or wooden

Voice of Mr Punch, not all performers use the swazzle.

Delivery of the performance. A good show should be energetic and slick.

Clarity of voice. The audience needs to be able to hear and understand the dialogue.

Story line and cast. Again this can vary considerably.

Use of the slapstick. Some performers have abandoned the slapstick in an attempt to make Mr Punch non violent. Unfortunately this destroys his character.

Fantastic hand carved wooden puppets.
Lively fast moving show. Watch video clip!
Lots of good old fashioned knock about fun.
Cast of well know characters. See photos!
Distinctive voice of Mr Punch using the swazzle.
